Finally an event where I can wear my suit!
NASA is honoring Colorado native Scott Carpenter, a Sealab aquanaut, one of NASA’s original Mercury Seven astronauts and the 2nd man to orbit the Earth, as an Ambassador of Exploration on November 10 here in Denver.
Carpenter will be presented with a lunar sample collected on the surface of the moon in 1972 by the crew of Apollo 17. This piece of the moon, encased in Lucite and mounted for public display, is an inspiration to the next generation of explorers who will go back to the moon, Mars and beyond! It will be on permanent loan to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in Space Odyssey. EXCITING!
The event is sold out but I know people.
