Astronaut Report Card: NASA Meets with Future Explorers
NASA Astronauts
and Educators are traveling the nation, meeting face-to-face with
future space explorers: teachers and students.
Astronauts Barbara
Morgan, 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 in
March and April, reaching out to discuss student and teacher involvement
in the nation's space program.
More than 5,900
students, family members and friends have nominated their teachers
to become permanent members of NASA's Astronaut Corps. This week
one student in Michigan 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.

and dates, please contact Gretchen Cook-Anderson at: 202/358-0836.
