I’m on a bunch of different mailing lists that pass along press releases about astronomy and space science events and projects. Last night I was browsing through the latest ones and came across a NASA TV event that sounds kind of interesting. It’s an interactive visit with Homer Hickham, the guy who wrote “Rockets Boys” that inspired the move “October Sky” He’ll talk about growing up in a poor coal mining town to become a rocket scientist at NASA, and during the program will be able to interact with students logged in from their classrooms.

If you’re interested in participating in the event, check out the details at: NASA Glenn Research Center.

Personally, I think more folks who are involved in the “behind the scenes” details of astronomy and space flight should get “face time” in programs like these.There are a jillion stories of smart, bright, creative, inventive people behind every mission and every observation that makes up the collective databank of science wisdom on this planet.
