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!

Wonderful pictures - you don't see this very often. Any word on when the ferry flight actually will happen and what route the SCA/Shuttle will take back to Florida? I'm interested because occasionally they fly through Davis-Monthan AFB here in Tucson, so it's a great photo opportunity to see it fly over town.
Jim.
Actually, the one thing I'd like to see once, is see the shuttle on the 747. Unfortunately, my boss probably wouldn't understand if I rushed out and took the plane to the US tomorrow, but it must be an amazing sight.
It will leave Edwards Air Force Base Sunday afternoon. The
exact date and time of departure have yet to be determined because of
changing weather conditions and the fluid nature of preparing
Endeavour for this ferry flight. However, the latest information
about the shuttle's ferry flight will be available by calling
321-867-2525.
Damarius, can you give us a tour through one of the Space Shuttles with some pictures. A few useful maps would help. Is there also available an Internet site that that would build on your introduction.
What are your plans considering the site wwww.nasa.gov/transition?
