Space Exploration Educators Conference at NASA's Johnson Space Center - Feb. 2016Af

After my presentation (see slide in background), I had the honor of meeting the vice president of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), Dr. John Horack.

Sitting in Gene Krantz's historic flight director seat (Apollo 13)...amazing.

Neutral Buoyancy Lab (NBL).

Astronaut Alan Bean (Apollo 12 - second to man a lunar landing, and Skylab).

,
Kjell Lingren (Expeditions 44 and 45), Alan Bean and Mike Foreman (STS-123 and 129).



From my presentation on after school space clubs, educators get hands-on experience with the Design Process by creating landers, and then...

...have fun competing in teams.
