Since I’m about to leave for the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center (part of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum located near Dulles Airport) to meet some old friends, Joyce (Gabriel) and Peter Anderson, I thought I’d add one more video honoring space exploration.
In honor of the Kennedy Space Center’s 50th anniversary, Google Maps and NASA have teamed to add something very cool: an all-access pass to the KSC. You can now take a Street View walk through rooms you’d never have access to without some serious security clearance.
Still lost in space
The place to meet on the Fairfax campus
The George Mason statue is kitty-corner to the Johnson Center and the Mason Pond Parking Deck, where guests can easily park on the first three levels (Fairfax campus map). As soon-to-be emeritus faculty, I'm always happy to meet with friends and my former Mason students on campus.
Alum Kevin McCarthy at work
Film critic and GMU alum Kevin McCarthy encouraged students during his many visits to my GMU classes to pursue internships and "get noticed!" See some of Kevin's terrific interviews on his Nerd Tears website.
