A few lucky Space Campers had the good fortune today to visit the Marshall Space Flight Center and hear NASA Astronaut Barry Eugene “Butch” Wilmore talk about his recent time aboard the International Space Station.
Besides talking about the highlights of his trips to space, Wilmore took several opportunities to stress the importance of a STEM education if one is interested in pursuing a career as an Astronaut.
Several local news outlets covered the event, and you can read and watch more about his visit if you are so inclined.
