Just got back from a really nice event at University of Maryland. Cady Coleman, Mike Fossum, and Ron Garan discussed their expedition flights, answered questions, and showed an awesome video.

The audience estimated at 400 was made up of mostly University of Maryland Aerospace/Engineering students with a few collectSPACErs in attendance. I was fortunate to attend with cS'er Mike Zolotorow (Zolart1).

The three astronauts spent at least an hour in the lobby afterward signing lithos and posing for photos. They were very gracious and accommodating.

It was a very nice event. It was wonderful that the astronauts spent time for autographs and photos after the event. It's always a pleasure to attend these events with Garry.
