NASA astronauts and educators are traveling the
nation, meeting face-to-face with future space
explorers--both teachers and students. Astronauts Barbara
Morgan, KD5VNP; Leland Melvin; and educator astronaut
co-manager Debbie Brown are visiting schools,
museums, and teacher conferences in New York,
California, Texas, Puerto Rico, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Idaho during March and April. Their goal
is to reach out to discuss student and teacher
involvement in the nation's space program.
Nearly 6000 students, family members, and friends
have nominated their teachers to become permanent
members of NASA's Astronaut Corps. One Michigan
student nominated his teacher saying, "He makes me
want to come to school every day." The application
deadline for the Educator Astronaut Program is
April 30, 2003. For event locations and dates,
contact Gretchen Cook-Anderson, 202-358-0836.
To learn more about the Educator Astronaut Program
and other NASA education activities, visit the
NASA Web site at www.nasa.gov.
