Glassblowing: The Intersection of Craftsmanship and Science

This video showcases the skill and artistry of master glassblower Bob Harris, who creates intricate glass components for scientific experiments at the Goddard Space Flight Centre. With over 22 years of experience, Harris is able to manipulate glass in its molten state to create unique pieces for spacecraft and laboratory equipment. His collaboration with scientists not only provides important design flexibility but also extends beyond glassblowing, as seen in the creation of delicate glass sculptures to represent NASA's space achievements.
