The Space Center's Newest Staff. The Upstairs and Downstairs People at the Space Center. Mikey's First Falcon Mission. Amberly is the New Voyager Club President. Imaginarium Theater

 



     Sadly, I don't know anything about Kate because the planetarium people are the upstairs people and the simulator people are regulated to the downstairs.  Upstairs people have been known to cross the Great Divide from time to time to discover the source of the low rumblings from the simulators that can be felt in the planetarium from time to time. You'll seem them cautiously descend the staircase to Starbase Williamson one step at a time unsure of what they may see.  I've seen a few who wear masks "just in case" and others will hold a perfumed handkerchief to their nose to protect themselves from mysterious ethers.  I've heard rumors that they call us "PaleSkins" due to the simulator staff's rare exposure to the sun. 
       Happily we all welcome Kate to the Space Center family and ask that she drop a treat of something over the staircase from time to time to remind us that we are remembered.  Do it out of the kindness of your heart, or for no other reason, do it to watch the feeding frenzy which ensues when a tasty tidbit comes our way.

Mikey's First Falcon Flight


     Mikey W. took his first group of paying customers for a 2.5 hour hop around the galaxy last night in the Falcon. The Falcon is the Not Federation starship at the Space Center. The crews of the Falcon scour the galaxy for bargains both big and small and I'm sure Mikey led them to some great deals over their time with him. Rumors are that they walked away with hard to find bathroom fixtures including a walk in tub and gold platted toilet. 
     Mikey is the former president of the Space Center's Voyager Club. He resigned his position once he received his Navy Blues.  We are all very proud of Mikey. He is a good friend to all, and that includes the Upstairs people.  He was even received in their Star Temple (planetarium) for a brief moment to catch a glimpse of the Star Priestess herself, Brylee Perry.  It was too much for him. Upon his return to the Starbase, he required the services of the Cassini's Medical Sick beds to recover his strength.

Amberly is the New Voyager Club President


     Yesterday morning, the Voyager Club's Leadership Team met to both accept Mikey W's resignation as president and approve Amberly P., as the Club's new president.  The vote was unanimous.  Those present were, Jack H, Eavie W., Thomas R., Amberly P., and Advisor Mr. Williamson.  Oliver U., was unable to attend. 
      Amberly took no time issuing new presidential decrees.  
                 1.  Eavie and Thomas were assigned to plan and stage the Club's socials. It was noted that Eavie is the Club's well know party animal. Thomas, on the other hand, may appear meek and mild, but give him a glass of Mt Dew and watch the caffeine kick in!
                 2.  Jack was assigned to create a series of videos to accompany the Volunteering Handbook. The videos will help new Voyager Volunteers transition from Explorer to Volunteer. His first video will take us deep into the jungle we call the Costume Closet to discover what fantastic creatures dwell within.  We're anxious to read his script.  Watch the Google Classroom for opportunities to be extras in his film.  Rumor has it that he has already purchased a "Director's Chair" with his name on the back.  I'm told he already has a megaphone and is using it in his neighborhood shouting "Cut" to the birds in the backyard. 
     The club is also exploring opportunities where the Voyagers from the Space Place at Renaissance Academy, and the Voyager's at The Discovery Space Center at American Heritage can mingle and get to know the Voyagers at The Space Center.  After all, we are all after the same thing - to create a space-faring civilization and to provide support to our Space Centers.

Look What I Found in the Parking Lot


     Hats off to James Porter, Director of the CMSC, for his taste in signage for the Space Center's parking lot.
