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.

- 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!

Yay!
I was a little worried.
And reason 86 why I won't be becoming an astronaut: I'd never have spotted the tiny speck of Endeavor in the top photo! :)
Nice pics--glad they're safely back!
Woohoo! Hooray! Welcome home, guys and gals!
Welcome home, travelers. I'll never forget when the landing path took the shuttle over my home turf of Plaquemine, Louisiana. It was unbelievable! When I saw the shuttle pass over, it created a trail that covered a third of the sky. Right after it passed, I went inside and, seconds later, the shuttle lands at Kennedy. I'd love to see it again.
