Hey Chasers! We’re continuing with the updates of our amazing second North America Tour of late July/Early August that are “backblogged.” Apologies for the delay. Real life caught up with me for August/September orientation and student move-ins at Simon Fraser University. Now that all the new generation of students have arrived on residence, where I live and work, it was …
North America Tour 2: Shuttles, Space Camp, Astronaut Abby, SpaceVidCast and Bill NYE!
Hey Chasers! Paul and I just landed last night in Los Angeles. We have a pretty exciting lineup of interviews and visits setup on this trip.

On our last North America Tour, we started in Montreal and ended in Vancouver while visiting the Canadian …
Returning Home: The West Coast Leg of the North America Tour
Hey Chasers! We survived! We successfully made it back to Canada, but not first before making three stops along the West Coast. We left Florida following our interviews with Ryan Kobrick and John Horan in Florida. During that post we talked about struggles with getting into the new Atlantis Facility. That unfortunately didn’t pan out. We did get amazing footage right …

An Awesome Time for Space Geeks Like Us
Hey fellow Chasers, Earlier this week I have been reflecting on the time in which we live. It is an amazing time for space geeks like us. 15 years ago the capabilities on the internet weren’t nearly as expansive as they are today. Heck, five years ago it would have been close to impossible for us to pursue such an …
Beneath Her Wing
This past Friday, Paul and I stood beneath the wing of the last space shuttle to fly a mission to space. I could actually read the serial numbers on each of the thermal protection tiles as Atlantis hovered above me on its carrier.
