Pavan’s Summary:
I had a chance to attend the Astronaut Scholarship Reception and Technical Conference in beautiful Cape Canaveral, Florida last week. It was an amazing trip — we had breakfast with Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell, Al Warden, Scott Carpenter, Laura Shepherd and many others; were able to go ONTO the launchpad of the Space Shuttle Endeavor and see the last time in history two shuttles will be on both launchpads; went to the Orbital Processing Facility to see Discovery being prepared for an upcoming trip; attended a Gala where we dined underneath a Saturn V rocket; talked to Astronauts, Cosmonauts, private aerospace corporation CEOs, space enthusiasts, and others.
Hope to you see you there,
Cheers,
