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!

that is just so made of cool!
These pictures are absolutely incredible! Thanks a lot for uploading them :)
Awesome shots just wished they would have been out there during the summer when I was there.

Where were you when you took the top image? (The one with the rainbow). That's just stunning.
Incredibly beautiful photographs! Save this view - in about 12 years (hopefully!), we'll see the Ares V and Ares I rockets poised on those pads for a trip to the Moon. Maybe you'll be on one of those flights!

Very peculiar... I thought 39B was already closed for modifications to accept Ares...
Endeavour is at 39B until Atlantis is cleared for reentry from STS-125. Then, it will move over to 39A for launch on Nov. 16th. It's not that NASA wouldn't want to launch from 39B, but they'd like to stay on schedule with the modifications for Constellation.
