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!

Damaris, awesome pic looking upward.
I remember as a child seeing Cape Canaveral as my family arrived to the States. Thinking of the moon walk and thinking of 'driving' a rocket... spending hunks of time in National Geographic Space editions. I ended up going into medical science but every time I visit your blog, I remember those childhood day dreams.
Wishing you all the best! Keep up the great work on your blog!
Great pics did you take these??? How high is the VAB???

Nice shot, Damaris. :)
Hi Damaris, I just found your blog via Space Feeds (http://feedspace.blogspot.com/).
I thought you might want some help ... well, that's the intent at least with my blog AeroGo
http://www.xanga.com/AeroGo
AeroGo's for students and others interested in space, aviation, and engineering. I see from you're profile you're an ERAU grad student and a TPS engineer, so you must be busy!
Good luck,
Gordon
