I am putting this challenge out again to all Human spaceflight supporters. In the next year I would like to see as many C/S members help arrange for an astronaut-either current or former appear at your local school, business or community event. It is not that hard. It takes time, some smoozing and luck but it is well worth it. Lets try to inspire the kids of today like we are now or were.I have helped arrange for three diffeernt appearnce this year and I was just asked to help with another. I am also in the planning stages with another dedicated group of avaition/astronomy/educational/space buffs to put on a event next year to help raise the spirts and offer diversions to kids with serious medical issues. We probably will have it open to all as well. We hope to bring a former astronaut to that event.
I have gotten away from collecting the autographs of these dedicated and hard working people and have gotten involved in meeting them and maybe inspire some kids to do better at school and achieve their dreams.
I would like to see a C/S member from every state and country help with one event. What a sighting section we would have here.
Let me know if I can help by offering suggestions and encouragement. Thanks for reading my post.
