Last month, I submitted my name for one of NASA’s #JourneyToMars<\/a> promotions—specifically, the Orion Test Flight “Boarding Pass”<\/a> shown above, where they’ll etch your name into a computer chip that flies aboard the spacecraft.<\/p>\n

While I was poking around the web site, I also registered for the associated NASA Social event<\/a>, because why not?<\/p>\n

And I got in.<\/p>\n

So I’ll be at Kennedy Space Center the week after Thanksgiving with a bunch of other folks from the Internet to watch the Orion<\/a> launch and tour some NASA facilities and meet people working on the project and I don’t know what else<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Even better, I’ll be rooming and carpooling with my fabulous Clarion West classmate (and NASA Social veteran) Alison Wilgus<\/a>! Follow us on Twitter if you dare. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Just made travel arrangements for my 1st @NASASocial<\/a> trip, can't decide if I'm more excited about seeing @NASA_Orion<\/a> or @aliwilgus<\/a> XD<\/p>\n
