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!

Good luck. Sounds like something right up your alley.
it does look really cool. i was going to apply but too bad it's only $5000 for 4 months of work :(

You and me both. Did you get your application in? I learned about this on Friday, and decided to apply. I've never put so much work into an application for such a short duration job and so little pay! Good luck.

Finally was able to get my application in, but it was definitely an intense weekend of typing!
Outstanding! I sent mine in on the 28th, to avoid the last minute mailbox overflow. Spelled Prof. Kim Binsted's name "Binstead". Oops!
Good luck to us both. Maybe we'll meet at their "culinary school" this summer at Cornell.

Ed, yey for sending your application in too! Sometimes we make those kinds of spelling mistakes. :) I really wish I would have found out about the study alot sooner so I could have spent more time on finessing the research portion of the application. Good luck to us both!
Sounds like an interesting study.
