I'm going to start up a space enthusiasts club in the high school I teach at. Any suggestions for a name? |

Would the name of your High School help us any in thinking up a name? |

Thanks for the ideas so far. I guess I will put them to a vote after our first meeting. I teach at Cathedral Prep. |

You're lucky, my high school didn't have enough students interested in spaceflight to start a club. |

I don't know about the name, but your slogan could be; "Prepare for your final destination - join the space enthusiasts club today." |

How about: Rocket Team or Space Team. Simple, I know, but to the point. |

Cathedral Missal Club, that's funny! I like the suggestions. When students are exposed to space exploration, for the most part, they like it. One kid asked me if I saw Apollo 18 yet. I will keep everyone posted as to our activities and our group name. Thanks again! |

Well, you could call it the "Heavens Above" club if you want to pull the ole bait and switch with those who might attend, thinking its a religious retreat group.  Maybe coming up woth some kind of NASA style acronym might be neat as well. |

Cathedral Air and Space Association, or CASA for short. With an adapted NASA logo for your t-shirts, perhaps in school colors! |

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this post. We met recently and I put out all the suggestions everyone gave for a club name — C.A.S.A. won! Thanks for Historian Mom and everyone else for your interest! |

C.A.S.A. is great. Thanks Mom! I don't know if NASA allows copying like this, but here's a start for a logo. |

Glad to have helped! Good luck with the club. My son is in an Aviation Club at his school, with a little space on the side. They recently had Linda Godwin come talk to the club, and next week's presentation is on careers in aviation. He really enjoys it. I was just out at the Kansas Cosmosphere getting their club sponsor his Christmas present -- a copy of Falling to Earth, signed by Colonel Worden and Francis French. Hope you get appreciated properly as well! |

May I suggest that "Apollo 18" should be on the activity list of any Space Club? One can chose to do this early in the year, as a starting point to take the members' hands into historical facts. Or one can go around it the other way, saving it for after the kids have acquired a taste for the history of astronautics.I preferred to start things up with the movie. |

The guys have come with a drawing for a patch. Can anyone recommend where I should go to get it made up? |
