I'm always a bit sad in the immediate letdown after a big event, but this also happens to be the end of an era. That empty chair seems an appropriate image to leave here for a bit. What happens next is a planned loss of signal. I'll see you on the other side. Thank you, all.🙏

I thought it would be fun to share an image of my setup here, even though it's not an angle my camera usually shows of this space. I love experiencing multiple sessions of engaged participants simultaneusly. Look at the Chromebooks back in service! Never mind the space books. 😆

This is a four-day, hands-on, Earth and Space science experience featuring planetary scientists Dr. Kirby Runyon and astronomer Dr. Pamela Gay - and myself, an education technologist focused on space.

Geothermal features of Bumpass Hell in Lassen Volcanic National Park are similar to the surface of Io, which may also harbor extremophile life. Giant lava tubes in Subway Caves are analogous to places human's might shelter on the Moon or Mars.
