Good morning all,
 Wishing you a wonderful day….I visited  Port Malabar Elementary school on Friday, spoke with two groups, K-2 & 3-6….which was so fun…..the kids were great… always so full of questions… it doesn’t seem to matter their age…they all have questions….it is fun to sit with them while answering the questions…much smaller groups and in may ways these are more interesting because I can devote time to them individually…I want to thank Jackie for for including me in the Light’s on After School Program with the kids…tomorrow I will be going to Narcoossee Elementary and Middle schools which I know will be fun…I enjoy all ages but tend to visit mainly Elementary schools  so it will be fun to be with 7th & 8th graders….I hope you can share the upcoming space walks with the kids….see below for times, NASA TV will provide coverage… http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv <http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv> Also, to see the ISS fly over, go to: http://spotthestation.nasa.gov  it will prompt you for your address, then tell you when you can see it…it is clearly visible as bright star moving across the sky…we have to remember to always do our best, enjoy everything we do, live in the present, make each day special, let those we care about most know, smile & have fun…gabe

NASA TV to Air Briefing on Two Upcoming Spacewalks by U.S. Astronauts 



Expedition 45 commander Scott Kelly and flight engineer Kjell Lindgren prepare their extravehicular mobility unit spacesuits and tools in the Quest airlock. Kelly and Lindgren will use the spacesuits for two upcoming spacewalks outside the International Space Station on Oct. 28 and Nov. 6, 2015.

NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston will host a briefing at 2 p.m. EDT (1 p.m. CDT), Thursday, Oct. 22 to preview the tasks and preparation for two upcoming spacewalks by U.S. astronauts living aboard the International Space Station.

The briefing and spacewalks will air on NASA Television, and will be streamed live on NASA’s website.
Two U.S. astronauts will venture outside the space station’s Quest airlock on Wednesday, Oct. 28, and Friday, Nov. 6, to perform a pair of spacewalks in support of space station assembly and maintenance. Expedition 45 commander Scott Kelly <https://twitter.com/StationCDRKelly> and flight engineer Kjell Lindgren <https://twitter.com/astro_kjell> of NASA will conduct both spacewalks, the first of their careers, and the 189th and 190th of the space station.
The spacewalks flank the 15th anniversary of continuous human presence aboard the space station, which is Nov. 2. 
The participants for the Oct. 22 briefing will include:
Kenneth Todd, International Space Station operations integration manager
Michael Lammers, lead Expedition 45 flight director
Grant Slusser, lead U.S. 32 spacewalk officer
Arthur Thomason, lead U.S. 33 spacewalk officer
Reporters may attend the briefing at Johnson and other participating NASA centers, or ask questions by calling the Johnson newsroom at 281-483-5111 no later than 1:45 p.m.
The first spacewalk on Oct. 28 is the 32nd U.S. spacewalk, and will focus on station upgrades and maintenance tasks, including installing a thermal cover on the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which is a state-of-the-art particle physics detector that has been attached to the station since 2011. NASA TV coverage will begin at 6:45 a.m., with the spacewalk scheduled to begin at 8:10 a.m.
The second spacewalk on Nov. 6 is the 33rd U.S. spacewalk, and will attempt to restore the port truss ammonia cooling system to its original configuration. A spacewalk conducted in November 2012 tried to isolate a leak in the truss’ cooling supply, but the leak was subsequently traced to a different component. NASA TV coverage will begin at 5:45 a.m., with the spacewalk scheduled to begin at 7:10 a.m.

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, recently past the halfway mark of his one-year mission <http://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/news/releases/2015/halftime-in-space-space-station-crew-and-ground-controllers-mark-mid-point-of-one-year.html> to the International Space Station, photographed the Nile River during a nighttime flyover on Sept. 22, 2015. Kelly (@StationCDRKelly <https://twitter.com/StationCDRKelly/status/646464996860411904>) wrote, "Day 179. The #Nile at night is a beautiful sight for these sore eyes. Good night from @space_station <https://twitter.com/Space_Station>! #YearInSpace."




The Shuttle docked with the ISS…..sharing wonderful memories…..
