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!

Just saying Hi and good luck for your dream! I can understand it since we share the same one and I have been in October in US for the first time in my life, from Rome, Italy, to see the launch of STS-120. I am happy to have found a blog of someone sharing my same passion :) I'm a masters student in astronautical engineering like you and I have applied for ph.d. at mit for this fall. and i'm making my way like you for the ultimate goal of becoming an astronaut, although for me as european is quite difficult. If you want to check my blog i've got some nice pics of ksc during my visit ( www.myspace.com / agolkar) and from when I go flying, you're more than welcome .. i'm a ppl pilot as well :)
Greetings from Rome, Italy!
Ciao!
