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!

I'd love to be able to see that, or a launch, in person some time!
This event virtually closes my experience related to the STS-120 mission.
All has begun watching the launch live from Florida, just 15 days ago!
This has been one of the highest points of my life, a real incredible and terrific experience.
And it has been a great pleasure also to meet a nice girl named Damaris ;)
Thanks for all once again, and good luck!
I hope to be alble to watch your launch and landing very soon.
Marco, thank you for the kind words. It was great to meet you while you were all out here. I'm glad you guys had great weather and enjoyed the days out here to witness a memorable launch!
