Next week I will be in Barcelona, Spain!!! I was selected to represent the Boeing Space Exploration Division in attending the International Space University's 2-month Space Studies Summer Program.
There will be a wide variety of lectures, activities, team projects, and workshops related to space. The program will give me an interdisciplinary and international perspective of the space sector and the global professional network.
Altogether, this will be a major experience for me on many levels. First all, I have never even traveled out of the country, so I am definitely excited for that! I am looking forward to meeting new friends and collaborating with the international scientific community. This weekend is going to be devoted to packing and getting all my last minute travel stuff taken care of.

Hey Damaris,
My name is Raheel Ramzanali and I am the producer for the Ken Hoffman show on 1560 The Game here in Houston, TX. Congrats on going to Spain! I just came across your blog and found it to be very fascinating. I wanted to see if you had a few minutes for a quick interview to promote your blog and to talk about your goals on the Ken Hoffman show. The show is on-air every Weekday from 12-2pm. Please let me know if you have some time. Thank you!

Don't forget to try the pealla(sp?) while you are there. And congratualtions.
Is called "paella", Red :P
The "ll" is pronounced... hmmmm... like the "j" of "japanese", so for english speakers is pronounced "paeja" :)
I hope you have a great ISU experience. I attended the ISU SSP05 in Vancouver and can't tell you enough how positive it was for me. It will change your outlook on space!
