Chasing Atlantis has been an incredible venture and we eagerly await the completion of our documentary so that we can share our story with all of you in the way that we experienced it. Our project is an independent venture and as such Chasing Atlantis is completely self-funded. Flights, car rentals, equipment rentals, and hotel accommodations were all paid for …
The Soul in the Machine
It’s been one day since I’ve returned from Titusville on the Chasing encore journey. I still find it hard to trace the path from our adventure’s first inception to standing before the Shuttle Endeavour this past Monday in NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building. Chasing began when I first saw Endeavour touching down; its final landing and second last shuttle mission. The …
Beginning of Return Journey to Kennedy Space Center
Sitting in the Vancouver airport right now. Doing a multi-leg journey back to Toronto then heading south through Washington and finally Orlando. Meeting back up with Paul in Orlando where we will be making our way back to NASA. Very stoked to get into the Vehicle Assembly Building to see an orbiter up close. We will keep you updated along …
Back to NASA!!
Hey Chasers, Some fantastic news! During our journey to Florida this past Summer, we decided to throw the Chasing Atlantis Twitter feed on the side of our rental car with some window writers. I thought people might be interested in following our journey online. @chasingatlantis adorned on our Chevy Malibu, we rolled into the Kennedy Space Center, Paul brandishing the …

Development is my field of study and I’m really excited about the opportunity get abroad and start the first community project for our organization. It’s been a few years in the making! Below is the IndieGoGo project profile for the trip if you’d …
Liftoff! And Happily Ever After
Hey chasers! Without me having to post you know by now that the final shuttle launch has been completed successfully. Beside me, thousands gathered on the shores of Titusville to bear witness; each grasping at this moment in history; an attempt to possess a moment in time and preserve it within a chalice of memories. The countdown roared across the …
Titusville… T minus 0?
It’s late, so I will keep it short. Today was jam-packed. Matthew and I checked out of our Motel 6 in Palm Bay and headed back to the Kennedy Space Centre with one goal: to get on the general tour that brings us to the shuttle observation tower. It was interesting. I would like to say awesome, however they had …
Out of This World Interview
Middle of our tour at the Kennedy Space Center Yesterday, I received a call from the Canadian Space Agency letting us know that we had secured an interview with Canadian Astronaut/Future ISS Commander Chris Hadfield. I was ecstatic but worried. We were on a tour bus in the middle of the Cape and unable to get out early. With a limited …

Hoping to also catch the new Star Trek exhibit that has opened at the Center as well. The morning spent with Enterprise was incredible! We will be …
