Thank you Dan Burbank
On March 28th, Buzz was honored with a visit from retired astronaut
Dan Burbank at the Enfield Annex, who spoke about his experiences on the
International Space Station and what led him to NASA. Mr. Burbank, who
now works at Collins Aerospace, attended the U.S. Coast Guard Academy
before being selected by NASA. During this part of his career, Mr. Burbank
served as Mission Specialist on mis-
sions STS-106 and STS-115, as Flight
Engineer on Expedition 29 and, as
Commander on Expedition 30. In total,
he spent 188 days in space.
Everyone was excited to hear from
Mr. Burbank. His presentation had a
seemingly endless amount of stunning
facts, anecdotes and, photos from his
time in space. Following the end of his
presentation, Mr. Burbank spoke to
every student individually, encouraging them to pursue their dream jobs,
even if it seemed impossible. Buzz would like to thank Dan Burbank for
providing the team with this unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
