Live Chat Roundup: November 11, 2010

By Jim Gerard, INSPIRE Education Specialist, KSC, FL

A great chat on Wednesday about the history and legacy of Virginia's Langley Research Center, presented to 34 10th graders by Karen Ricks.  Ms. Ricks showed how important Langley has been for the development of aeronautics, the training of NASA's first astronauts, to developing robotic spacecraft to land on Mars.  INSPIRE students asked many questions and appreciated the time spent by our presenter.  All members of the OLC now have an opportunity to check the archive and watch for themselves.  Don't forget to take the quiz to get your points!

Due to the Veterans Day holiday, the chat was held on a Wednesday.  Since next weeks Live Chat would fall on Thanksgiving, it too will be scheduled for Wednesday.  More news on next weeks chat will be found in the Nov. 22 issue of the eINSPIRE communication.
