Making things work is a way of life for NASA engineer and maker Kyle Johnson. Whether finding parts on the shelves of DIY stores or in the closets of NASA labs, Johnson pieces together useful structures to keep work moving forward at NASA Glenn’s SLOPE (Simulated Lunar Operations) Lab where researchers examine how rover wheels perform over lunar or Martian terrain.
