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.

- 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!

As Robert Crippen once stated, "The shuttle looks like it has all kinds of muscle."
Great pictures!
That is an amazingly cool scene! To be able to look over an ordinary parking lot, to the next lot, where a GIANT SPACECRAFT is trundling along to a launch pad... Do you pinch yourself a lot? I sure would...
Thanks again for all great photos, and the perspective from the inside, too! --Bob in Glendora
