Hi! I'm a science geek who has loved space since I was four years old. I foster cats, write a little science fiction, and work full-time for the US Environmental Protection Agency. I was a physics major back in college, but I hope to go back to school in the near future to earn my engineering graduate degree. I attended the STS-127 NASA Tweetup in September '09, and returned for a chance to speak to the ISS in October (I was the one holding the mic when the Master Alarm went off - d'oh!). I love space travel, space popularization, and space education, and hope to someday find a job studying and exploring the cosmos, whether it's building the rockets or riding 'em. |

I Live in Las Vegas NV, I'm a student pilot (12/09) with 68 hours and on the verge of my check ride. Which I have been for a couple of months. Time and money have slowed down my progress again.
I Love all things that fly, and am very interested in space... Always have been for as far back as I can remember... Always rockets and frying models. After PPL, I'm going to go for instrument, and commercial, maybe CFI... No need for ATP. Looking to be able to fly a charter every now and then. I recently got involved with a start up aviation pod cast "Mile High Flyers" http://www.milehighflyers.com/ Thanks for reading, Mike |

Ever since I was little I've loved rockets, manned missions, and pretty much everything having to do with space. Eventually I started building model rockets and when I was 6, I got to see my first Shuttle launch out at KSC. By then, I knew I would end up doing something involving space in some way, even if it wasn't being an astronaut. Right now, I'm a student studying Engineering Technology, with a Space Science specialization. (more will be added to this eventually) |

I'm on the verge of finishing my PhD (May/June 2010) in Bioastronautics in the Aerospace Engineering Sciences Department at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I've been a space enthusiast my entire life. My research is on lunar dust abrasion and my other key research interests are in analogue studies and human spacecraft, i.e. spacesuits and lunar/martian landers that involve humans in the loop. I applied to the astronaut pool in 2008-2009 to both CSA and NASA since I"m a dual citizen. I was video interviewed by CSA in the top 76. Getting closer to the stars!
There is lots more information about me including my CV on my website if you're interested: www.RyInSpace.com |

i like engineering in general, and i am facinated by all things mechanical or basically anything that moves or has moving parts, including clouds which i hate because then i cant see the stars at night, been star gazing since i can remember which is partly where my love of space comes from.

I'm a United Space Alliance Engineer for Facility Structures. I'm in charge of maintaining and operating the Emergency Egress System. I drive the Rotating Service Structure, and lift the payload the first 100' to space. I'm there when the Flame Trench loses it's mind, and I capture all of the Sound Suppression Water in my Holding Tank after launch.

I work for NASA at the Marshall Spaceflight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Currently the big project is Ares I, where we're quantifying and qualifying all failure modes, big and small. By understanding how complex systems malfunction, we can design smarter sensors and react and recover from failures more effectively. It also means, in the event of a catastrophic failure, being able to detect the problem before it's too late. Before the Constellation program, I worked at Penn State as a grad student doing similar things, plus astrodynamics, autonomous robotics and machine learning and AI type stuff. Even farther back in ancient history, I did systems engineering at Johnson Space Center, where I worked X-38 and Shuttle flights to ISS. |

I enjoy thinking about the future and then tieing it to the present reality. If Humanity (not just a nationality but everyone) is to survive in the long term we must take a long view of the future as well as history.

Saw my first space launch on 21 July 1961. Gus Grissom. Liberty Bell 7. I was 5 years and 358 days old. I'll never forget it. I could tell you more good stuff, but... well, maybe later.

Since I first saw a Spaceshuttle in the late 80's, I was stunned and wanted to know more. But it wasn't until the Internet in the 90's that I was able to get more "up-to-date" information from sites like nasa.gov or when I discoverd TV streams from launches in the early 2000's. Which also sparked my interest in several related topics like Space exploration or Astro-photography. Now in the late 2000's I have yet discovered another source of sharing my passion with other enthusiasts and even insiders - welcome to twitter. |

I am the Parks Facility Inventory Administrator for Virginia State Parks. I am twenty-five years old and have been interested in space my whole life. Astronomy is one of my passions, and I always try to stay up-to-date with new astronomy news. I love astrophotography and try to take pictures whenever I can. Keep in mind that I am no professional, but I do know quite a bit about astronomy and physics. Occasionally I make space art when the mood strikes me right.
