NASA accepting astronaut candidates

I got something totally different from my FIRST experience. to me the spirit of FIRST is all about sharing. during the 6 week build period, you share yourself with the other people on your team. at the competition, you share your creation with everyone who watches your 'bot play the game. - George1902 [more]

Re: NASA accepting astronaut candidates

For all of you who think you are in the “I’m not qualified” category-
I met the wonderful Don Thomas when he moved to Baltimore a couple of months ago, and we are having ongoing talks about ways for him to be involved in FIRST here in Maryland.

He was rejected from NASA as an astronaut 3 times over many years. But he kept following his dream, and kept figuring out what he needed to do next. Don just retired from NASA, with 1000+ hours in space.
