Such a great picture with the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building) in the background. This was taken on the day that Shuttle Discovery was supposed to launch.

I started this blog to document the actions I am taking in trying to become an astronaut. It's my ultimate goal, my dream. Every week or so I post a new update to recap the week or add interesting pictures. I hope you enjoy the site and remember to follow your dreams no matter what others may think of them.

- Welcome to my blog! I grew up in California and later attended Texas A&M University to earn a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering. I also hold a Master's degree in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I previously worked at Kennedy Space Center for Boeing on the Space Shuttle Orbiter's Thermal Protection System. I transitioned to an engineering position with the MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, MA. I applied for the 2009 astronaut candidate program, but unfortunately did not get a call back. I applied again in early 2011 so fingers crossed! I currently am working on continuing my advanced education, involvement with space advocacy, and continuing to do all that I love in life!

Do you work out alot? It seems the physical requirements are still pretty hard, particularly if you want to enter the program as a pilot.
These photos are amazing. F-15s above the VAB and launch pad? You truly have a unique blog, and I'm glad I came across it.
Having seen the VAB in person, it is huge! Like in the clouds huge.
Why notrenounce your citizenship, defect to Russia, and become a cosmonaut? It would be much easier, and you would get to meet all of the celebrities who buy tickets into space!
Wow.. The pictures are just AMAZING! I wish you all the luck in the world (and out of it) with your dream of becoming an astronaut.
I bet you get more kicks out of a F15 than going into space though...
The shuttle aint going to pull those kinds of moves! :O)
