"A true journey of discovery lies not in seeking new shores but in finding new eyes." ~ Marcel Proust
Today we heard from Story Musgrave, payload commander on the Hubble Space Telescope rescue mission and NASA aerospace engineer and author of
Rocket Boys, Homer Hickam. They took pictures with us and autographed their books. I have become so sad to know that space travel could be over in America. It is so disheartening to hear these men speak about the demise of our space program. We were treated to the Omni movie about the history of the Hubble telescope. The pictures are so incredible. I am awestruck by the scientific knowledge it took to create it and what we have learned as a result of the mission. Tonight was our graduation. It was very emotional. We each received our diploma and wings. I am thankful to the folks at the Space Camp for giving us this
unique opportunity and for a very special gift, one free campership. Next year I will be able to send a student to space camp! We have grown individually and as a group - this experience has changed us all.
