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.
About Damaris
- Damaris Sarria Toepel
- Somerville, MA, United States
- 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!

The 2nd to last photo is of the Payload Canister. It carries the payloads that will launch aboard the Space Shuttle by being lifted up to the Payload Changeout Room.
The last photo is a view of Space Shuttle Atlantis rolling out from the VAB (on the far right) to approach the launch pad.
Thanks Damaris i ment the second to last photo not last (dough)
