Moon Day 2015!!!

The 2015 edition of Moon Day turned out to be the highest attended so far! The Frontiers of Flight Museum was awash with tons of space enthusiests of all ages. The DARS booth was manned by Jack, Suzie, John, George, Dan, and myself. We needed all the folks due to two build sessions and (in a first for Moon Day) a launch! Some pictures have already been emailed and Facebooked (is that a word?) but here are mine!

The DARS booth! It was pretty big this year...

A ton of models on display...

More models...

...and more models....

The Moonliner had to be there, since it was also the 60th anniversary of Disneyland opening to the public!

My wife's crayon rocket is always a kid favorite!

The big star, though, was a big rocket! George's level 3 qualifier, The Silver Beast!

He had a nice info display on it....

John and Dan help kids prep models at the launch!

...while Jack got them on the pad! I helped with the controller, but I didn't get a picture of it...
I didn't really think about last week's post having anything to do with Moon Day until I met Ms. Ansari herself! She was demonstrating some new software her company is developing. She also graciously agreed to a group picture with us!
So there you have it! Until next time, fly 'em fast and high!
