My Summer

I am taking an aerospace workshop/class. It is put on by ETSU. It is free for teachers so I am taking it with a few buddies so that we can transfer the credits to another college where we are working on our Eds degrees. That is the degree right below your doctorate.

Anyways, I am loving this class. It is covering everything from planes to space. I never knew how much I loved this stuff. One day a guy brought in about fifty model airplanes he had built and talked about the history of aviation. I even went out and bought a model myself. Haven't built one of those in about 30 years. We also get 2 free flight lessons out of the class. A guy from NASA came and talked to us. That was really cool. This week we are building rockets, delta dart airplanes, parachutes and egg drop containers. We also are going one night t the school's observatory. I have always wanted to look through a nice telescope. We are finishing the class by going to Charleston to tour some aircraft there.

The guy from NASA shared this youtube clip with us. It is a google earth clip where they have zoomed in on all this cool stuff from outerspace. Check it out.
