Astronauts primarily wear Silhouette Titan Minimal Art (TMA) glasses frames while in space, particularly on NASA missions. These Austrian-designed frames are chosen for their unique, “space-worthy” engineering, which includes being screwless, hinge-less, and rimless, weighing only about 1.8 grams.

The office had fun today, while providing health care. We had a frog, a MacBeth witch, Ken (left Barbie home), a devil, M&Ms, a Woodstock holdover, and Count Dooku. Thanks to the children who stopped in to see us for treats.
