We caught up with the"Reading Rainbow" host in Los Angeles Thursday, and LeVar explained space exploration is inherently risky ... and every potential problem can't be anticipated, and things often don't go according to plan.The astronauts are now stuck on the International Space Station until 2025 after technical issues shut down their return flight.
As LeVar put it ... there is no way to create contingency plans for every possible outcome, especially when dealing with space exploration. While the U.S. may have resources like the Coast Guard to help those stuck at sea, the cosmos is a totally different ballgame ... with LeVar reminding us that space is a vacuum.LB also made a point to applaud Suni and Butch, saying they put their lives in danger in the name of science. He added ..."The research they do up there actually contributes to life being better here on Earth. So, I'm very grateful to NASA and its mission.
