Prometheus Squadron Wins the Long Duration Mission's Round 6

A job well done to the Prometheus Squadron for winning the sixth round of the current Voyager Club Long Duration Mission in the Magellan simulator.  The winning score was the highest score ever given on an LDM in all six rounds; in fact, all five squadrons scored higher than their overall average. This is making my job difficult because I'm suppose to find the good, the bad, and the ugly in every mission. How can I give suggestions to our teams for improvement when the squadrons as a whole are consistently outscoring their previous scores? The good news is that the teams are listening and working to improve their performance.

"We focused on the grading rubric," said Coach Lystrup about his team's outstanding performance.  "Once you know exactly how your team is being scored, you can focus on those areas to make full points."

The team started with nine players, just making the minimum.  Nathanael (missing from the photo) had to leave just before the mission ended.

Congratulations Prometheus on a job well done. And congratulations to our other teams for keeping the final scores within a few point of each other.  We have two rounds left in the LDM.  The new LDM begins in January.  It is time for members of the Voyager Club to renew their club membership for this school year's club.  Send me an email to renew your membership.

New Interns at the Discovery Space Center at Canyon Grove Academy  

The Discovery Space Center at Canyon Grove has several new interns working behind the scenes to make the DSC's missions intensely fun!  I found three of the newer interns at work a few weeks ago.
I'd like to introduce you to them.

Ryan (white shirt) is 15 years old and attends Pleasant Grove High.  He's been an intern for nearly three months.  Josh (red shirt) is also 15 and attends Pleasant Grove as well.  He's been an intern for nearly two months.  Liam is 17 years old and attends UCAS.

Andrew is another one of Discovery Space Center's hard working interns. He is a sophomore at Lehi High School.  Working magic with Adobe Illustrator is one of Andrew's contributions to the DSC program. I found him hard at work revising the DSC's field trip Boarding Pass.

The Space Center and Voyager Club Infiltrated by The Purples, A New Alien Race. The Imaginarium.

Do Aliens Live Among Us?
     This is a question asked by millions of people since the Roswell incident in the 1940's. I am someone who believes it is possible. Take for example the testimony of Paul Hellyer, a former Canadian defense minister who has accused world leaders of concealing the presence of aliens. He says there are three primary types of aliens who live among us; the Greys, the Reptiles, and the Nordics. The Nordics are described as humanoid extraterrestrials, the Nordics, also called Blondes, have a very human-like appearance and stand anywhere from 5½ to 7 feet tall.
     I'm writing today to say Paul Hellyer and the other ufologists are wrong. There are four different types of alien living among us. I want to announce to the world the existence of The Purples. Purples have planted themselves into the fabric of the Space Center community through the Voyager Club's LDM. I believe it is there way of learning about humans by watching us learn and play. Purples are called purples from the hue of their skin; however, they are capable of changing that color from its natural purple to a normal human tone. Occasionally, in times of extreme concentration, they forget to monitor their surroundings and situations and revert to their natural color. This happened two Saturdays ago in the Magellan Control Room. I was lucky enough to be there to capture it on camera. 
     

     You may know her as Jacqueline Lystrup. She's been with us for several years as a volunteer and employee. She currently is a Voyager Club volunteer working on the Long Duration Missions and the Club's medical department. Jacqueline realized her situation the moment I snapped the photo and reverted back to a natural human skin tone.  She claimed the control room lighting was to blame.
I think we all know better.
     Knowing The Purples have taken an interest in our program can either be comforting or worrying. Only time will tell. May I suggest that everyone give Jacqueline a wide berth and treat her with extreme caution and kindness until her people's true intentions are known.
