Dear discuss-lfm members,
Just one day away from Program Two - "Cruising Between the
Planets" - and the excitement continues to build! If you
have not yet introduced your students to the Mars Team,
the men and women behind the Mars Missions, be sure to
visit the Mars Team web link at:
http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/mars/team/index.html
Here you will find 35 biographies (journals, too) that detail
the lives of those who are integrally connected to the Mars Missions.
Several of our featured guests who will appear in Program Two have
online biographies available:
Donna Shirley: Manager Mars Exploration Program
Tony Spear: Project Manager Mars Pathfinder Lander mission
Wayne Lee : Mission Planner, Mars operations
Rob Manning: Flight System Chief Engineer, Mars Pathfinder
Meeting Donna, Tony, Wayne and Rob in advance via the sharing their
biographies will surely make the telecast more meaningful!
Don't forget that on the same day as the live telecast (tomorrow)
*Donna Shirley* will be a featured guest on the *Virtual Take Your Daughter
To Work* Web Chats at 1:00 pm-1:45pm Pacific Standard Time. You must
pre-register for this chat if your students plan to ask questions.
You may also be an observer -- and this access does not require
pre-registration. More information about this special event (and other
scheduled chats with renown women in science, technology, and communications)
is available at:
http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/women/intro.html
Are your students prepared to send *good* questions during the live
telecast? Hundreds of questions fill the mailbox during the program
and only a few *good* questions can be selected. To improve your
student's chances of having their question selected, be sure the
questions sent >>>>>> relate directly to the themes <<<<<<
covered by this broadcast:
* Mars Global Surveyor
* Mars Pathfinder and Sojourner
* navigation and trajectory maneuvers
* careers
Questions should be sent to onair-lfm@quest.arc.nasa.gov DURING
the live telecast ONLY. If your question is not selected, be
sure to send it to Researcher Q and A at question-lfm@quest.arc.nasa.gov
It's a good idea to check the Researcher Q and A archive found at
http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/mars/ask/question.html to be sure
it's not a "repeat" question before sending!
The Program Two script for tomorrow's program will be distributed
via updates-lfm newsletter today enabling you to better prepare
students for the hour long program. We hope you find having access
to the script allows you to "set the stage" for a more meaningful viewing
experience.
You are encouraged to share your & your student's reactions
to Program Two via this forum following tomorrow's program.
