Experiment Loaded on the Zero G Plane

We started the day with skypeing back to the kinders this morning. It was SO exciting. We had 3 wonderful NASA experts, 2 mentors and 1 director of the NASA Education program, talk to the students. They learned about the different education levels, types of degrees, and the jobs the men hold. The students were then able to ask questions. What a wonderful opportunity for North Ridge students.

Wow, we can't believe tomorrow is the day to fly!! It was a busy day. We fine tuned our experiments, loaded them on the Zero G plane, were issued flight suits and briefed on anti-motion sickness via a video and speaker. So much information to take in, but we were told not to panic. We should take it slow and easy on the plane, no quick movements. If we follow this advice, the flight should be fine. We are definitely taking the expert advice. Wish us luck.

See you at the DLN.

Houston Arrival Successful

A wonderful cookie basket awaited us in our hotel room for our team. Thank you Cheryl and Dewayne.
We have arrived in Houston and had our first "briefing". We went out to the store to buy our board and silicone. We will be meeting at Johnson Space Center in the morning to do some set up and then have an important safety meeting. Some of the experiments that will be flown with ours sound just as amazing as ours!
