I have one extra ticket for a lecture this Wednesday evening, 5/9, being given by astronaut Eileen Collins. The lecture is at the Air & Space Museum (downtown DC building), at 8 PM. Any DC-area MAD who wants to attend, please let me know – my address is in my profile. The ticket is free; first to claim it gets it.
Eileen Collins is, as I recall, the first woman to pilot the Space Shuttle and also the first woman to command the Space Shuttle. Her talk is titled “Fulfilling a Dream of Flight.”
