Astronaut Leland Melvin Lands in Takoma Park Tomorrow!
Calling all students who want to meet an astronaut! Astronaut Leland Melvin, March 2, 12-2 at the Tak Pk Community Center.
One of my favorite astronauts is coming to town tomorrow! I was so excited I bypassed social media and passed out flyers to teens and parents exiting the schools across from my home.
I have no shame when it comes to promoting space exploration -- especially for young women. If we, the US, goes to Mars, it will be our current middle school teens on board.
So bring your starry-eyed students to meet one of the kindest astronauts I've ever met tomorrow, March 2 at the Takoma Park Community Center, 7500 Maple Avenue, from 12-2. Mayor Bruce Williams declared it Space Day!

I have been a proponent of bringing more of the sciences to Takoma Park since 2007 and I am glad it's happening with this great event!
