<div>Good morning all,</div>
<div> Hard to believe at this time last week I was in Norway, awaiting a flight back to Florida....still filled with so many memories and writing to so many of the kids...I hope you will be able to show the kids the launch on Friday....or at least the replay
on Monday....for those who are ahead of Florida in the time zone, hopefully you will let the kids know so they can watch it at home, NASA TV will cover it live and also replay it, if you want to share it with your class on Monday.... I’m sure they will also
cover the docking and arrival to the ISS of this crew. For the full schedule of prelaunch, launch and docking coverage, visit: <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv"><font color="#273DA2"><b>http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv</b></font></a><b> </b>For more information
about the one-year crew, visit: <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/oneyear"><font color="#273DA2"><b>http://www.nasa.gov/oneyear</b></font></a><b> </b><b> </b>For more information about the International Space Station, visit: <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/station"><font color="#273DA2"><b>http://www.nasa.gov/station</b></font></a><b>
</b><b>...</b> wishing you all a wonderful day.....we must always remember to do our best, enjoy everything we do, live in the present, be appreciative of the good in our lives, keep things in perspective, let those we care about most know, smile and have fun!

laboratory. NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko will spend a year living and working aboard the space station and will launch with cosmonaut Gennady Padalka. The trio will become part of the station’s
Expedition 43 crew. NASA TV coverage will begin at 2:30 p.m. EDT on Friday... <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv"><font color="#0563C1"><b><u>http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv</u></b></font></a> </span></font></div>

from across the United States and around the world who competed in the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge April 11-12, 2014, at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This student engineering design challenge addresses engineering problems
similar to those faced by NASA engineers preparing for a variety of solar system exploration missions in the decades to come.</span></font></div>

<div style="margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Nearly 100 high school and college teams from around the world will race against each other during NASA’s Human Exploration Rover Challenge April 17-18
at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Participating teams are from 15 states and Puerto Rico, as well as international teams from Mexico, Germany, India and Russia. Hosted by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, the rover challenge
requires participating students to design, construct and race human-powered rovers through an obstacle course simulating the terrain potentially found on distant planets, asteroids or moons. Teams race to finish the course with the fastest times, vying for
prizes in competitive divisions. The event concludes with an awards ceremony where corporate sponsors will present awards for best design, rookie team and other accomplishments. "Rover challenge puts students in the driver’s seat of real-world engineering,"
said Tammy Rowan, manager of Marshall’s Academic Affairs Office. "Students perform research with computer-aided designs, select and fabricate components using mechanical tools and test their innovative technologies in a wide variety of environments." The nearly
three-quarter mile obstacle course will have teams racing and maneuvering in, through and around full-size exhibits of rockets, space vehicles and extra-terrestrial terrain currently on display at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center – the official visitor center
for Marshall. The course will continue to feature the lunar-themed obstacles, but with a twist – the addition of Martian-themed obstacles highlighting NASA’s journey to Mars and other deep space exploration destinations. The course includes 17 unique obstacles
built from wood, aluminum, rubber tires and tons of gravel and sand. The materials are carefully shaped to resemble craters, basins, boulders, ancient lava flows, crevasses and other obstacles. The course features simulated fields of asteroid debris – boulders
from 5 to 15 inches across, an ancient stream bed filled with pebbles about six inches deep and erosion ruts and crevasses in varying widths and depths. Teams will arrive in Huntsville on April 16 for on-site registration, with the race taking place 7:30 a.m.
to 5 p.m. CDT April 17-18. Nonstop media coverage will be provided on Marshall’s UStream webpage, Twitter account and NASA Television. The awards ceremony will take place April 18 at 5 p.m. in the Davidson Center for Space Exploration in Huntsville. The ceremony
also will be broadcast on UStream. Marshall’s Academic Affairs Office manages the rover challenge, which is inspired by the lunar rovers of the Apollo moon missions built by Marshall engineers and scientists. The event is designed to teach students to solve
engineering problems, while demonstrating NASA's commitment to mentoring new generations of scientists, engineers and explorers. Major corporate sponsors include Boeing; Lockheed Martin Corporation; Aerojet Rocketdyne; Jacobs Engineering ESSSA Group; and Northrop
Grumman Corporation, all with operations in Huntsville. Other corporate and institutional contributors include <i>Science Applications International Corporation </i>of Huntsville; Orbital ATK of Dulles, Virginia; Davidson Technologies of Huntsville; Corporate
