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!

Wow, that is an outstanding photo!
Hope you're doing well!
Too bad it can't be your photos anymore. Too bad the space program was never or will ever be documented in HDR. Well, we can see that commercial low Earth orbit capsule coming. Any moment now private industry will reach low Earth orbit.
Larry Tanner, a tile technician in OPF 2, took that picture. You can also see the pic of the young couple posing in front of Discovery in their wedding clothes at http://www.rv-103.com/?p=928.
