Me blabbing on and on about space stuff last week at the Nerdery.

Tomorrow morning at 10:00am CST I will be launching a balloon with the entire 3rd grade class of Washington Elementary School from Park Ridge, IL. We will launch from the Whalon Lake forest reserve outside of Naperville, IL. 

If you’d like to follow along, you can see the path of the balloon & its altitude over on this fancy little Google Map: http://aprs.fi/#!call=a%2FBEAKER-1&timerange=3600

We’ll post pics when we’re done. Should be a fun event!

SpaceX Dragon Capsule docking to the ISS right now. So amazing. Watch it live on NASA TV

Talking about the importance of space exploration to our future as well as the ISON project down at The Nerdery today. Apparently I use my hands quite a bit when I talk.
