Boulder’s Reach in Florida: Our 20 Astronauts’ Post-Grad Destination Before Outer Space

The University of Colorado Boulder Campus provides an absolutely top flight education for generations of astronauts. At least TWENTY of our space heroes are Buffs! Alongside our Nobel Prize Winners, these top of the line Buffs make us all proud! Remember Niwot’s Curse. “Whoever visits the Boulder Valley is doomed to forever return.” Personally I only came to Boulder once. I just never left.

As We Reach for the Stars, Remember That The Stars Have Always Been Romantic. Did I Mention The Moon?

A significant part of the space program are the rockets and missiles that carry our astronaut explorers into space. The “garden” at the Space Center displays the history of the mighty beasts. The “Farm” at the Space Center, Previously “Cape Canaveral”                    pic Debi Dodge

One of the very largest and most current of the space-bound missiles dwarfs us as we walk by. Some are so large that they are displayed on their sides! Some of the Largest of Our Space Vehicles including the Largest Are On Display              pic Debi Dodge

We know that military pilots are not particularly tall. I suspect that an astronaut who is much taller than my 5’6″ simply would not fit in the early space capsules. Lensworth in the Especially Great Company of Our Space Heroes                 pic Debi Dodge
