astronaut

On March 18th 2010 I visited the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to see the facility here in Boulder and attend a talk by Dr. Stanley G. Love - a NASA astronaut that flew on STS-122. Founded in 1947, employing over 3,000 people in several states, SwRI is a very prolific multi-disciplinary institute, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas (for more information about the SwRI, visit its facts page). SwRI has a fairly large office (about a hundred people) in downtown Boulder Colorado.

Imagine a dream trip to major space facilities, where you meet several astronauts. Add a visit to a geeky aerospace wonderland, and the opportunity to share the fun with your space enthusiast friends. I did such a trip.

AstronautiCON IVAstronautiCON IV will take place from November 20 to 22, 2009 in Lecco, on the shore of Lake Como in northern Italy. NASA astronaut Michael Fincke will be the guest of honor. AstronautiCON IV is the 4th annual convention of the Italian online space forum ForumAstronautico.it (@fait).
