LFMers, All of your enthusiastic messages about the Mars landing are wonderful to read. I just returned from 12 days in Cocoa Beach including 4 days at KSC. What a time to be there! We attended the VIP Orientation tours preceding the July 1 launch of STS-94, the launch itself,(what a thrill! DO IT if you EVER get the chance), a day without the rest of the family to gorge myself on the goodies in the Education Building (and a nice chat with Mike Dean and another teacher who works at KSC for the summer), and another day there introducing my teacher-to-be daughter to the treasures in the Education Building. The rest of the 12 days I did the tourist things, and visited family, but most of all, watched NASA Select TV. Strangely, Brevard County in which KSC is located, does not have a channel dedicated to NASA Select, although most of the rest of Florida does. NASA Select shares a channel with the channel guide. We were also told that a lot of people in the county are irritated when they can't get their channel guide because of things happening at NASA. What a show! What a ride! Everything I felt in those days has come rushing back reading all of your wonderful messages. I can't help but feel that our classes in September will be more than ready to jump on the MARS bandwagon (should I say "rover"?). Although seeing the live show from JPL with the wait time and suspense was best, don't forget the wonderful job done by the local and network TV shows. Unless last year's students are watching all cartoons, or have their heads in their electronic games, they can't help but be proud to know as much as they do from last school year. Even the least plugged-in of my sixth graders should recognize the name of MARS. Does anyone have an address for sending congratulations to our friends at JPL?
