Having been previously to NEAM, I heartily endorse their Space Days. I would be up there (even though I've seen Searfoss before), but plans to go to DC for Discovery's arrival prevents me from doing so. Enjoy! |

Searfoss did a great presentation as always. I was surprised it went on as long as it did since they had another speaker coming up. Unfortunately I had to leave before he was done. The McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center was listed as one of the exhibitors but I did not see them with a table there. I wonder if they didn't make it. |

They arrived a bit late but were there. I talked briefly with their rep, Mr. McDonald. They are planning an event for the weekend of May 4-5 quite possibly with an astronaut appearance. |

Thanks to Garry (MarylandSpace) for coming up and supporting One Giant Leap and the NEAM. He was a great asset to our display table. We couldn't have done it without him. He was great with the kids, adults and ran a fun trivia contest. Thanks!!!!He was helpful to the NEAM for helping with crowd control with Rick. Kept that long line moving and was a great end of line man... Thank you!! |
