A busy week...

I was extremely busy this past week. I have been helping with failure analysis on the gap fillers. You want to know something cool?? I actually held in my hand the two gap fillers that were taken off in orbit! The team is analyzing the reasons why the gap fillers were protruding as well as implementing new methods on how to install gap fillers. I would post pictures up, but I got a virus on my computer and am try to clean it all up. For the mean time, I'll just be updating what I've been doing. Till next time....

It must be like being onboard the Nina, the Pinta, or the Santa Maria; not knowing how what you are doing today, will have an affect on history. Best wishes and Godspeed to you Damaris. We wait and watch has you take us into the future...

Good to see you are enjoying yourself.

Do you have any pictures of the shuttle piggybacking on the 747?

I want to fly a hang glider across the UK

Hi Damaris,

Very cool blog! I have a 7 year old daughter who wants to be an astronaut too. She loves math and science, and I plan to nurture that as much as possible. Now if we can only deal with the ADHD.

Hey, I'm studying some astronomy in the hopes I can do astrobiology if my other life plans don't work and I love reading your site! I've always had a special interest in space. Good luck at Embry!
