Axe Apollo Space Team Undergoing Local Training Here in the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We would like to share with you some photos from the local training of the Axe Apollo team. The members include Evan Rey Datuin, Chino Roque and Ramil Santos.

All of them will fly to Florida, USA to train at Space Camp, where they will train and compete against more than 100 representatives from 60 countries. One of them is guaranteed to fly to space in 2014.

Their local training included sessions at Crossfit MNL to improve their stamina and strength. Another part of the training is scuba diving which is a simulation of  a zero-gravity environment. That’s the closest they can get to weightlessness. This activity also tests their breathing techniques.
