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!

These images recall me my first day in the States: on 17th October I and my friends were nose-up watching a skyrocketing Delta II lofting in orbit a GPS satellite.
What a wellcome cerimony...
Thanks for the photos, Damaris.
Is this the Delta II launch with the italian satellite?
Very nice pictures, I really love them. Remembers me when I saw my first launch ever, a Delta II, too. Just was much further away ;)

Nice photos, but you didn't identify what launch vehicle it was, or what was the payload....
