I never found the site again (I saw it once, but then I lost it) and it wasn't entirely devoted to ASA. It was just the website of a guy on my team, and he put pictures on it. I had Cynthia and Gabe. Cynthia was the best!!!!

I guess that makes me young! I know someone who lives in Hampton! He works at Langley, too! I have never been there but I want to visit Langley sometime.

Well you cant see much of Langley these days. After September 11th the only stuff you can see is as you drive by on the road. You still get a nive view of the wind tunnels and a few other things though. We do have a nice Visitor center though. The Virginia Air and Space center is located in downtown hampton and its oipen 363 days a year. Let me know if you ever come to visit i work as a tour guide for the visitor center.

Really? That is so cool! I want to be a tour guide for the Johnson Space Center.... But then again, I guess they aren't having tours anymore.... Anyway, I want to work there. Do you know how old you have to be??

Well every visitor center is diffrent and they run their places diffrently. At the Virginia air and space center you have to be atleast 16 to give tours. But you can volunteer to do other stuff their at 14. Most of the tour guides at our center are retired military or retired NASA people. Their are a few younger ones like me. Our youngest volunteer is 14 out oldest ids in his late 80's.

Cool! That's what I want to do! The problem is, Idaho is so far away from any center. Do you know of any internships or any other summer programs? Kind of like ASA, I guess, only more working.... I have been looking for something for next summer, but I keep going in circles!

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 2:35 pm

I know some NASA centers do have internship programs for students. You would have to contact them to find out specific information. Might want to try the NASA web page employment oppurtunities section.
