Reason #638 why my job is cooler than yours!

Today Becki and I got to meet, via FaceTime, Melissa Gard! She is a retired NASA physicist who worked for 36+ years with the International Space Station!!

Becki and I both will, quickly and easily, admit that we kind of geeked out because we had such a great time visiting with her about the space station!!

Our STEM summer camp here at STARBASE Weatherford is all about brainstorming and designing tools that astronauts might be able to use on the International Space Station!!

Missy is going to join us via Zoom so the camp kids can hear straight from her and ask questions about the ISS!! 🛰️

We are looking forward to this!!

NASA has made history with the selection of its twenty-fourth astronaut candidate class, marking the first time since applications began in 1959 that women outnumber men. Out of the ten elite individuals chosen from a pool of over eight thousand applicants, six are female and four are male. This groundbreaking group of scientists, pilots, and engineers will undergo two years of rigorous training. Their upcoming missions will support the Artemis lunar program and help prepare humanity for eventual crewed expeditions to Mars, representing a monumental shift in spaceflight demographics.

🚀HAPPY NATIONAL SPACE DAY! 🚀

Today we’re celebrating curiosity, creativity, and the courage to explore what’s beyond! 🌎🪐

At STARBASE STEM Academy, we believe the future belongs to students who ask big questions, design bold solutions, and aren’t afraid to reach for the stars. From building and testing new ideas to imagining life and tools for space exploration, our students are learning to think like real scientists, engineers, and innovators.

So many things to say….. but I’ll just leave the pictures here instead for now!

We had a going away party for Heather Rutherford today at lunch! And we surprised with more than just us 3 showing up!! The other directors from OKC & Fort Sill made it out to share this time with us!

We even pulled off a surprise with her husband, daughter and welll…. We will just call her “The Reason She’s Leaving” showing up too!

Aka - The Grandbaby!!! 💕💗💖💓💞

We are sad to let her go, knowing full well no one will ever be able to replace her, but we are thrilled she gets to go be a full time GRANDMA!!
