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!

Woohooo!
Just wanted to be there, once again!
Great work! Do you have videos? I especially like 'amateur' videos of launches, as they convey the 'atmosphere' of the whole thing much better than the official NASA TV coverage. I keep digging amateur videos and posting them on my space blog - portuguese only - http://mlespaco.blogspot.com
I didn't get a video of Atlantis taking off. For the next launch, I will!
I just posted a whole bunch of amateur videos to my blog here: http://mlespaco.blogspot.com/2008/02/mais-videos-amadores-do-lanamento-da.html
It would be great if the people who make these videos could label them as 'AMATEUR VIDEO' or something, then it would be easier to find them all! My favorites are these two:
