NASA JSC RoundUp FEBRUARY 2007 volume 46 number 2
In February of 2007 I answered a call for essays responding to the question “Why is space exploration so vital for the nation?” NASA’s Johnson Space Center was having an essay contest. I submitted the following winning essay. The prize? They sent us to Florida for a shuttle launch!! The launch was amazing. See the FEBRUARY 2007 issue of the JSC Roundup here and turn to pg.8 for the essay.
