I’ve never met anyone who’s opposed to being coddled from time to time. It doesn’t matter who you are – getting a little extra attention and red carpet treatment once in a while can go a long way – it can even be unforgettable.
If there was any doubt before, I’m making it official…I’m a fan [...]
As we prepare for the final launch of the space shuttle program, Clark Planetarium and ATK wanted to provide the community with an opportunity to see this extraordinary launch on our big screen.
This Friday, July 8, we will open our doors beginning at 8:30 a.m. for the broadcast of Atlantis’ final launch and a brief [...]
Those who know me know that I’m a big fan of the “comfort zone.” For example, I’m the guy that goes through a set routine every morning, and orders the same food time and time again at favorite restaurants. My reasoning? It’s simple…I know exactly what to expect, and I like that feeling.

The morning of the 28th started off with a demonstration of the spacesuits (officially called the Extravehicular Mobility Unit or EMU) worn by the astronauts during a spacewalk. Did [...]

LAUNCH DAY!! (or not…)
Day 2 was an amazing day at #NASATweetup. You could feel the excitement in the air. We met lots of amazing people, but all our minds were focused on 3:47 pm.
Launch time.
After arriving in Florida for the #NASATweetup, it was time to meet new people, tour facilities and take lots of pictures. Here’s a glimpse at what we experienced on the first day.
Hi, I’m Elizabeth and I’m a space geek.
I’m thrilled with the opportunity to contribute to this blog. I have been selected to attend the launch of the Endeavor for the STS-134 mission to the International Space Station and will blog my experiences here!
Last week eyes were glued to television and the internet as Space Shuttle Discovery reached to the stars for one last time. Maybe you watched the launch and cheered. Maybe you watched and felt a mix of pride and melancholy (I did). Maybe you didn’t watch at all.
A couple of days after the launch, this [...]
