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!

Damaris, these are great pictures of the interview stage.
Wonder if you're going to put the interview transcript on your blog. I couldn't find anything on spaceflightnow.com. I'm not sure if they're going to post it there.
Sorry to hear that today's mission was scrubbed. Hopefully tomorrows reschedule of the launch goes smoothly.
I agree with Yohan... hoping for a transcript or youtube clip because I missed it!
Natalie, they'll be replaying the clip today so just watch the live webcast on spaceflightnow.com and maybe you'll see it. :)
