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

- 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!

Excellent pictures, thanks!
Wow - watched it on the live feed and it was absolutely textbook and on schedule - after all that hassle! Great job on the nose cone, and here's hoping for no more three-month delays.
Nices pictures!

A great launch for NASA, everything went just perfect!
Great for you to be able to watch it on the spot. I had to make do with NASA TV.
If I ever get to watch a live shuttle launch, I think I will want to see it with my own two eyes, and waste no time photographing or videotaping it!
On the other hand... I don't really know!
Keep up your great job of showing us how it's really like inside the Shuttle Program.
Cool pictures!

Great pictures! I got to see the launch for the first time from the side of the road going out to Playlinda Beach. It was such a wonderful afternoon, nice breeze and perfect launch! I created a blog mostly to share with more people the pictures I took from the launch, as well as a few from the cloud formation after the launch. One day I hope I can get to the press site for a launch. My dad is an electrical engineer for USA and as far as I can recall he Hasn't gotten any of the passes for family members to get out there(assuming they still do those). Anyway I must say again Great pictures! :)
