The newest group of NASA ascans appeared at the National Air and Space Museum on January 30, 2014. Astronaut Leland Melvin emceed as children asked questions to both the ascans at NASM and U.S. astronauts on the International Space Station via a downlink. There were about 100 elementary and middle school students in the audience.I was asked by a gentleman after the event, "Are you cS?" I said yes but if I was quicker thinking, I would have given my Wally Schirra response, "YBYSAIA." The gentleman was collectSPACE member vanmanboatin. I also chatted with cS members Pete Sarmiento and Mike Isbell so cS was well represented at the event. Astronaut Melvin did an outstanding job hosting and will be missed by NASA upon his upcoming retirement. | |
