Central Elementary School and Christa McAuliffe Space Center Construction Update

As the site supervisor Dan has been with the project from the beginning and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. There have been plenty of unique problems considering they are building 12 ft away from our school which is in full use. Dan has been very positive and helped keep the project rolling at a steady pace. So thank you Dan from Hogan & Associates Construction, we wanted to recognize your efforts in bringing this great new resource to our community.
Seen in the pictures below Dan (red hard hat) took some Central staff through to see the progress that is being made. It's pretty amazing to see the scale of the project up close.

The Farpoint Universe Starships
Created by Dr. Ryan Anderson
Telos Discovery Space Center
Telos Discovery Space Center, Renaissance Space Academy, and Reality's Edge create missions set in the Farpoint Universe. Farpoint is rich in alien civilizations composing the galaxy's great houses.
Creating the special effects for a unique universe is difficult. Thankfully, Farpoint has Ryan Anderson from Telos, director of the Telos Discovery Space Center. Ryan has been busy imagineering the ships of the fleet. Today we will highlight the Terran Space Command Corvette. The Corvette was designed with two things in mind: speed and anti-fighter weapons. Dr. Anderson's Corvette is excellent at fighter interdiction, courier missions, blockade running, and anti-piracy operations.
