Speaker – Michael Jones
Michael Jones, Washington State’s NASA Teacher in Space State Finalist, shares his personal journey as a science educator vying for the flight of a lifetime. But, as you will discover, his adventures really began after the ill-fated Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986. One hundred and fourteen of America’s best teachers were thrust into the national spotlight as NASA sought to select who would be the first private citizen to wear Astronaut Wings. It would be a year that changed everything.
